#87 Visit the zoo

I. LOVE. THE ZOO!

Saturday morning, Ian, his parents, and I left for San Diego! We walked around a bunch... We went to this village that had a bunch of little shops and stuff. And a carousel--which we rode (: It was right down the street from our hotel, so we spent a couples hours there, then walked back... Something fun about San Diego is that there's so many people outside! like, ALL THE TIME! Don't see that in Walnut... Then we just kinda hung out in the hotel for a while.. went to dinner.. and called it a night.


view from our room on the 24th floor. way high.. and that's us in front of it.


we were right on the harbor, suuuper pretty!


we got to hold parrots... and ride the carousel! (ian's mom, ian, and me)


On Sunday we went to the San Diego Zoo!! SOOO FUN! The only thing was, for some reason-- I guess cause it's spring now-- all the animals were mating. Not even kidding, we saw like 20 couples of animals doing it.. in public. Awkward... We also saw the peacocks courting the girl peacock! It was sooo cute. They were chillin on the roof of a gift shop... and the guy had his feathers all spread out for the girl and then there was another guy one that was shrieking.. because he was jealous and wanted attention or something. Really cool though. And there was a newborn giraffe! CUTE! What else.. OH. There were animals breastfeeding (I took pictures for Mom.. but haven't uploaded them yet) I thought she'd like that :) And some animals suck because they just like to sleep, like the lions, tigers, and bears. Seriously. Anyways, it was a really fun day! We ate at the Flamingo Cafe.. got churros.. ice cream.. walked around for FIVE HOURS. All that zoo-stuff. After a long day of rhinos and flamingos, we had a nice long 2 hour drive home. Which I slept almost the whole way :)


giraffes...


flamingos... and a polar bear statue?.. not sure why we took that picture...


rhinos!... annnd us leaving the zoo.

Zoo pictures aren't the most flattering... but that's okay. It was still way fun!
